It was lovely and very moving hearing that extraordinary story of St.Pio - but the 'exotic' hymns, which many a congregation would have difficulty singing, were sung by a small choir of nine in an otherwise empty church. I find that soulless and irritating. Only the last hymn, 'Tell Out My Soul', which is one of my favourites, was sung in a packed church - Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, I believe. I wish they were all like that, as they used to be. Edited by Anne-Marie, Sunday, 1. November 2009, 20:17.
